Amos actually was on Hubbard's sailing ship for awhile. Once he left it, he really didn't talk about it. In the many times I spoke with him in person, we NEVER mentioned that part of his past, so I don't know exactly how he became involved.

Amos was a wonderful musician and and great friend. Many of have odd parts of our lives we kinda want to forget. The only link to it for Amos was his confidence that there was some sort of 'realm' after whatever is 'us' leaves the body. He did NOT equate it with standard religious ideas.
