Documentary Series Chronicles the Roosevelts’ Lives

Ronald Newman is an veteran Washington real estate executive who guides Milestone Investment Properties, LLC. Under his leadership, Milestone has undertaken numerous high-profile residential developments, including Orchard Grove and Marastone Village. Ronald Newman considers the Bible his favorite book and enjoys watching documentary and history programs in his free time.

One of the most well-received documentary series in recent years was “The Roosevelts: An Intimate History,” by acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns. Spanning 14 episodes, this epic series recounts the lives of Presidents Theodore and Franklin, as well as First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. It begins with the birth of Theodore, a definer of America’s early 20th century.

The series portrays his time in office vividly, while interweaving the story of young Franklin, who would famously overcome polio to become president at the outset of the Great Depression. The narrative presents a human dimension to these oversized figures, faults and all, and shows their deep connection with the people they led, through often-challenging circumstances.

Best Wines to Pair with Kale and Sausage

Ronald Newman founded Milestone Investment Properties, LLC, in July 2010. Based in Puyallup, Washington, the company provides services in the acquisition and design of multifamily properties, as well as overseeing the development of construction through its management division. Ron Newman handles the overall aspects of the company through operational management.

Ronald Newman’s interests out of the workplace include cooking, and he enjoys pairing foods with the right wines. Below are three suggestions for pairing with kale and sausage, a simple, rustic dish that incorporates white onion, garlic, white beans, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Michael Austin, the writer of the Chicago Tribune’s wine column, “The Pour Man,” suggests pairing the dish with either of the following three French red wines. The pairings were chosen by Ryan Arnold, a sommelier and the divisional wine director for Lettuce Entertain You restaurants.

1. The 2014 Albert Boxler Grand Cru Sommerberg Riesling, from Alsace, tempers the mild heat and slight spice of the sausage.

2. The 2014 Laurent Tribut Chablis, from Burgundy, matches the weight of the beans in the dish, but also pairs perfectly with the greens.

3. The 2013 Domaine Berthet-Bondet Trio Cotes du Jura, from Jura, has high acidity and low tannins, which make it an ideal complement to the taste of the sausage.

As the manager of Puyallup, Washington-based Milestone Investment Properties, LLC, Ronald (“Ron”) Newman oversees all aspects of the growing property management company. Outside of his professional endeavors, Ronald Newman worships at and supports Edgewood Bible Church.

Edgewood Bible Church members follow in the biblical traditions of Aquila and Priscilla, simple people who rose to the occasion when they heard God’s call. The Bible tells the story of Aquila and Priscilla, who were tentmakers by trade. At great personal and financial risk, they took the Apostle Paul into their home and completely changed their lives to help him serve the Church.

At Edgewood, churchgoers are challenged to transform their lives and become “tentmakers” as well. The church encourages its members to have the courage to uproot their family, change their career, or become part of a totally foreign culture in order to serve the Church and the word of God.

Edgewood Bible Church “tentmakers” currently work around the world. Opportunities are available for anyone who would like to join in service.
