| Body | From http://www.nola.com/west-bank/index.ssf/2011/05/post_144.html When Terrytown Elementary teacher Tobie Lynn Tranchina was younger, her parents constantly instilled in her the importance of a college education.

She said she received an overwhelming response, with nearly a dozen colleges agreeing to participate.
