He is the first and maybe the last. These awards are considered the big one -- the Holy Grail," Kramer said.For Gregorek, the recognition marked the end of a lengthy "personal journey.""It's cost a bomb but was worth it in the end. To complete all three slams is the culmination of many years' work and the end of a personal journey," he told the Scotsman.
