I was born in Holland in 1934 into a faithful Latter-Day Saint family. My parents T. Edgar and Hermana Forsberg Lyon showed great love to their children and were the preeminent examples in my life. I have five brothers, including a fraternal twin, each of whom has had a positive impact on me. I married Dorothy Ann Burton in 1959 and together we had eight children. I have had a rich life life, full of memorable and satisfying experiences, and a rewarding career.
