Could it have been Sonny Bono?
He lived in Florida and I think he was a Senator for the state at one time.

Lunchtime could be noon. Peter Noone (Herman and the Hermits) was a singer-songwriter, though he's a bit obscure.

here is an interesting quote:
After a football game in Lima, Peru, five were killed. . . . Up here we don’t kill our football players. We make coaches out of the smart ones and send the others to the Legislature. -January 5, 1931

In 1981 My dad had a small boat, and on portions of Turkey Creek they posted speed limits to give the manatee time to get out of the way of the boats. I lived with him from 1984-1986 but don't remember any charities there.

Bingo Shagbark - you got the Senator dead on.... Bob Graham - but nothing (in my mind) to do with Lunctime... so +10 to you.

The Floridan manatees have suffered badly from having their habitat destroyed. Also a lot were being killed by the propellers of power-boats. There are speed limits for power-boats in the places where manatees are likely to be - if a boat is going slowly, a manatee will get out of its way.

This is, at least as far as I can gather, partly due to the charity I'm talking about... the Save the Manatee club...
