Where the Heck is Sam Cortes?

I've been putting this off, but it's time to ask the question. Where is Sam Cortes? Someone out there must know. Sam, a Chicago-area superstar, is one of the top three or four runners nationally in the men's 55-59 age group according to Running Times magazine. He used to race every weekend. I can't find a single result for him this year. I hope he's OK. If anyone knows, please file a comment.

Hey Bob-
This is Sam Cortes Jr. here I used to go to almost all of my dad's races for years. I was the one who would meet him at different points of the race and give him his water(I'm sure you saw me,lol)...My Dad is fine he is slightly injured but more than anything he's spending time with his grandkids on the weekends. He still runs and trains everyday but he's just taking it easier these days...He already has my son(Sammy Cortes III,20 months old)running beside him up and down his driveway that he sometimes trains on so maybe you'll see him out there as well in the very near future:)
If I had to put my money on it my Dad will be back next season, he can't live without the competition!Thanks for your concern and I'll pass this message on to my Dad.
Best Regards,
Sam Cortes
