Where's Waldo?  in an English series of children's puzzle books. In England the series is called Where's Wally?  Readers are challenged to find a character named Waldo, and his friends hidden throughout the pages.  My son loved these books when he was small.  Trumbull is a town of 37 000 people located in south west Connecticut. English colonists established the town in 1639 (named Stratford). It was renamed Trumbull in 1797 and was named after Jonathan Trumbull, who served as governor of Connecticut during the United States War of Independence. 

Pickens is a small town in South Carolina of about 3100 people. It is named after the American War of Independence Brigadier General Andrew Pickens. The territory before the war belonged to the Cherokee. Because the Cherokee sided with the British during the war, the Cherokee were forced to cede the land to South Carolina.  Janet's card is a painting of a tiger by Katharine Barnwell. I told Janet that it was fitting she sent me that card as Medicine Hat's local junior hockey (U-20) team are nicknamed the Tigers. She even included a postage stamp of a tiger.
