 Where did you get this info Tom? Did it come from a book? Can it be 
verified?
 It definitely is NOT nit-picking.  Leo did have a son (and a daughter 
too I believe). I was only 4 years old and it was my older sister who 
knew the Diamond kids. Possibly their son is a different Neil? Also I 
believe that Chris Bauer had stated at one time the Neil's father was 
Leo.
 It sure would be nice to straighten it out, as it's VERY important to 
me.
