[TAGS] 3D models

@Bob and Ann

Dear Bob,
Thank you so much. That's so thoughtful of you for planning to bring
sample diagrams and  perhaps the tactile image of the pyramid. I would
love to touch them and experience how it feels. Wow, wonderful to know
you too will be there at Empower
 2022. Looking forward to meeting you in person. I will look up  for
more on tactile graphics exhibition in Delhi and see if I can attend
it. Thanks for letting me know.

Dear Ann,
What can I say!.... You are amazing.   Thanks a ton for such a
detailed description on tactile 2D representation. The blueprints of
Titanic will be so useful I can't just tell.  Although I had seen the
documentary/movie 14 or 15 years ago, I needed someone to describe
some finer details in regard to its outlines.  Thanks a lot once again
and I'll do as you mentioned.

With regards,
Aishwarya.
