One Man's Quest for Free Stuff

Remember Samantha Smith? In 1982 the ten year-old began corresponding with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov about the state of US-USSR relations. She warmed his heart. Well, today Tom Locke has initiated a similar effort. He's writing to 100 different companies in an effort to see if he can get $39 worth of free stuff. This should be an interesting experiment to see which companies are most approachable and accessible to their consumers. Good luck Tom!
