When he returned to the U.S., he settled in North Hollywood, CA. He made his first dry point etching in 1928 while a patient in the Veteran's Hospital in San Fernando Valley. Much of his time wasspent in Twentynine Palms where he owned 100 acres. A regular visitor to his ranch was actor Lionel Barrymore whom he introduced to etching.
