Freeman.Shane's journey to find out more about A.P. Freeman, starts with a visit from his brother Dannie, who has collected together the family archives. He knows his mother met her father for the first time when she was 18 along with her sister Bonita, and that this moment was captured by a street photographer.Shane discovers his grandfather's date and place of birth, and that he described himself as a 'managing director'. Though he is unsure what he was a managing director of, Shane suspects the answer lies in some of the family legends that include A.P. being involved in a bus company and being a marathon piano player.Shane also investigates the story of his grandmother Dorothy.
