load a mesh once and display it many times?

Hi,
a silly question:
Is it possible to load a mesh once but display it many times at different locations?
The background of my question:
I want ot write a 3d text class, where each character is represented via a mesh. So i want to load the whole alphabet into the application and whenever i want to display an "A" for instance use the loaded A.3ds.
normaly i would have a node of the loaded mesh but each node can be at one place at a distinct time not at two ore more.
I hope i was able to make my problem clear.
Greetings
Markus
