He was a bit embarassed when he saw the same crest mounted on the wall at the house of a friend with a totally different name (not Carson). I can imagine the research involved looking in a large number of telephone books... Rich (I think Carson was mad enough about this that he named the compnay on air. I don't remember if this is the same company recently referred to here.)
