5/11		Sylvia Brown at the Jubilee Auditorium 630 CHED brings you Sylvia Browne at the Jubilee Auditorium on Sunday, May 11th. Visit the Sweepstakes section by clicking HERE for your chance to win a pair of tickets! Sylvia Browne was born in Kansas City, Missouri. At three years old, Sylvia's psychic powers were revealed when she announced that her grandfather was dead (he was), and that she would have a baby sister in three years. Just as predicted, Sharon was born one month short of Sylvia's sixth birthday. Sylvia's grandmother, Ada Coil, was herself a medium; and Celeste, Sylvia's mother, grew up in a home where visions were commonplace. Although she herself was not psychic, Celeste accepted it as normal, if somewhat annoying. She did not welcome more eccentricity in her life, however, and would do nothing to encourage it in her daughter. Their lifelong relationship was strained, but Sylvia's relationship with her father was very close and loving. For more information about Sylvia Browne, click HERE.	7:00pm, at Jubilee Auditorium
