The Saint John's University Bookstore will be hosting a book signing by three authors on Saturday, Oct. 15, as part of Family Weekend festivities.

Jim Studer will be signing copies of his book "The Road Taken: A Journey through Central Minnesota, High School Classrooms, and Around the World." Studer, a native of St. Cloud, was a speech teacher and coach in Albany, Maple Lake and St. Anthony Village. He is currently assistant speech coach at Blaine High School. His new book is a memoir of his youth in St. Cloud, his years of teaching and his experiences while traveling around the world.

Lisa Crayford will be signing copies of her book "Waterfalls of Minnesota." Crayford is a master photographer and operates Country Gallery Photography in rural Kimball. Her recent picture book features 117 waterfalls of Minnesota, with stunning photographs, organized geographically and ranked by beauty. Directions, things to do in the surrounding area and details about each waterfall are included in the book.

Kelly Radi will be singing copies of her new book "Out to Sea: A Parents' Survival Guide to the Freshman Voyage." Radi is owner of Radi To Write LLC, a public relations writing firm. Her book offers usable, practical ideas to help encourage and empower parents (and students) to navigate the transition to college. Radi resides in Sartell, Minnesota.

The book signing will take place from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the SJU Bookstore, which is located in Sexton Commons on the SJU campus. For more information, contact Ann Jonas at 320-363-3081 or the Bookstore website.
