Eventually Sandor made his way to the United States and on to Mankato MN on a sponsorship from Cecil Jones. He began working at Kato Engineering in tool and die, and later purchased the DX Station in St. Peter. He ran the station for 8 years and then worked for Ace Hardware and later Midland Glass.
