into Giant with my mother at that time and seeing how everyone was so
excited about a Surrattsville team getting to compete. There were promo-
tional signs up as you walked into the store, since Giant was a big sponsor.
All I really wanted then, as I was only 10 years old, was to meet Odon-
na Mathews. I loved her voice, and she seemed exactly like my wonderful
sister-in-law to be, Kathy, who also majored in Home Economics. Martha
Stewart could learn things from her. I found a 2006 article about Mrs.
Mathews by Susan Reimer of THE BALTIMORE SUN newspaper: “For
nearly 30 years, Odonna Mathews was the voice of Giant Food, dispens-
ing cheerful doses of nutrition advice over the radio and across the aisles
of the supermarket. That familiar voice has been retired. Remember
“Strive for Five”? It was the catch phrase she used to remind us to eat five
servings of fruit and vegetables every day.”
Now if my fondness for Jeopardy and It’s Academic with the host as
Odonna Matthews could be combined into a game show, I would try-out
for that…still wouldn’t be smart enough.
To each new days adventure, Shelby
