Patti Gilbert is an entertainer and grandparent who knows the tyranny of distance. Along with several musical friends she formed The Grandparents Club- an online group that gives grandparents a platform to brag and connect with their peers. Patti talks about what lockdown was like for her and how new forms of technology are now just a part of life.
