Irvin went and was back in Tuscaloosa for his Monday morning classes. On Aug. 17, 1948, they were married and honeymooned in the Rockies of Colorado. Ros transferred from Michigan to Alabama, and they attended their senior year as a mar-
ried couple. They graduated sitting next to each other since Irv’s three years in the Army allowed Ros to catch up with him. Upon graduation Irv joined his father, the founder of Alabama Auto Parts Co., Inc., founded in 1922. At age 36, Irv became the president of the Automotive Wholesalers of Alabama, later serving on national association boards.
