I have no rhyme or reason as to who should be dubbed Mentor or when, but when the switch goes off in my head that someone's time has come then I go with my gut and hit them with Mentor status. This is the case for Elaine Zelcker and David...

When I do have a job that needs to be filled in a place I've worked before I have my go-to people...
