“To all of you who have been so kind, you are the wind in my sails,” an ocean gliding Pelley wrote in near verse on Instagram Saturday. “So deeply grateful. ” Proving that less is more, Pelley’s words were accompanied by a clearly happy photo of the former long long time CBS News correspondent steering a boat on the seas.
The post, which has garnered almost 24,000 likes in the past few hours, says way more than a 1000 words by the laconic Pelley, if you know what I mean?
