Sunny days: The 75-by-15-foot sun deck overlooking Algoma Boulevard was a popular feature when Reeve Memorial Union opened 50 years ago. Sporting "California" outdoor furniture, the deck was a place to enjoy Wisconsin's good-weather days, get a tan, study and chat. The deck was illuminated at night. Today, the wooden decking has been replaced with a tar and gravel roof, but the doors off the old lounge still look out over this addition to the 1959 building.

Hi Michael:
We're working on getting a copy of the photo to you. Can you share with us which one you are in the photo? Do you have any memories to share of the sun deck?
