Big ole brass integrities on that man.
Godspeed Mr. McDonald, you truly had the "right stuff".

There are some powerful messages in there^.
"What we should remember about Al McDonald [is] he would often stress his laws of the seven R's," Maier says. "It was always, always do the right thing for the right reason at the right time with the right people. [And] you will have no regrets for the rest of your life."
"It's really that simple if you just keep it focused that way," McDonald told me in 2016.

He also framed regret another way, paraphrasing a favorite quote from the late journalist Sydney J. Harris.
"Regret for things we did is tempered by time," McDonald said, his expression firm. "But regret for things we did not do is inconsolable." McDonald then paused and added, "That's absolutely true."

Thank you for posting this.
I am glad that I now know the story of Allan McDonald.
Just like that in any group of people you want to define, there will always be some a-holes, there will also be truly good people.
Here's hoping the actions of the good people will always outweigh the actions of the a-holes.
Thank you very much for posting this. I have forwarded it to many.

To paraphrase a good friend of mine...
If it weren't for all the a-holes in the world, the rest of us wouldn't shine so bright.
