The title was "The back of the front: keeping the Almanac honest." by Nick Bond of NOAA. I can't seem to find the whole article, without paying, online though I didn't do much of a search.
I looked him up in a search and found several articles by him. He is obviously knowledgeable, and objective in his presentations.
I’ll have to look up his piece on the Farmer’s Almanac to understand fully what his perspective entails.
Thanks for the notes.
