Explore the remarkable life of Brother Whitsun Albert McDonald, whose leadership and public service embodied the enduring principles of Freemasonry-brotherhood, integrity, fairness, and self-improvement. Initiated into the Craft in 1942 during World War II, McDonald rose to serve as Master of The Glenlyon Lodge No. 346 S.C. in 1951, the same year Hurricane Charlie devastated Jamaica.

Entrusted by the Government of Jamaica to lead the Hurricane Housing Organisation, he directed national rebuilding efforts and was later appointed Director of Housing and Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Housing. Through his visionary leadership, he helped reshape squatter communities, bridge socio-economic divides, and played a key role in developing housing policies that ultimately contributed to the establishment of the National Housing Trust (NHT), influencing Jamaica's post-independence development.

How to Be a True Freemason chronicles over seventy years of Brother McDonald's experiences, insights, and service, revealing how Masonic values shaped both his character and national impact. His life stands as a powerful example of principled leadership, mentorship, collaboration, and commitment to the common good. More than a memoir, this book serves as a practical guide for Freemasons and non-Freemasons alike, demonstrating how the symbolic working tools of the Craft can inspire personal growth, strengthen relationships, and cultivate a life of integrity, excellence, and meaningful service to community.
