Chip Sebastian
saysI feel stunned and saddened by the news today of Mark Jeffers' passing. I've seen some very kind posts on FB, and all I can say is, I feel the same. Mark was constantly helping people with their dancing, but also helping people just get through life in many behind-the-scenes, unsung ways. Mark was in our original batch of instructors at Lexington Arthur Murray, and we had a lot of laughs teaching students, going on trips, Friday night parties, events, latin clubs, all of it. My thoughts go to his family. RIP Mark.
