ORANGE COAST COLLEGE -- Orange Coast College on Friday inducted three

new members, including former Costa Mesa mayor Mary Hornbuckle, into its

Alumni Hall of Fame.

The other two alumni are Daniel G. Amen, a Newport Beach

neuropsychiatrist, and Harold Burch, a New York designer.

The trio are the college’s 58th, 59th and 60th members of the Alumni

Hall of Fame.

Hornbuckle has lived in Costa Mesa since 1965. She earned an OCC

certificate in early childhood education and received her B.A. in

organizational management from Vanguard University.

She was elected to the Costa Mesa City Council in 1984 and served

through 1996. She served as mayor from 1990 to 1992.

Hornbuckle has been director of the St. Mark Community Preschool in

Newport Beach for the past 12 years. She also served as chair and vice

chair of the Costa Mesa Redevelopment Agency and sat on the founding

board of the Newport-Mesa Schools Foundation.

She is currently chair of OCC’s Early Childhood Education Advisory

Committee, a member of the board of the Costa Mesa Community Foundation,

and vice president of the Girl Scout Council of Orange County.

Amen was an OCC honor student and a member of the college’s

nationally-ranked forensics team. He earned a B.A. from Vanguard

University and a doctorate of medicine, magna cum laude, from Oral

Roberts University.

The Amen Clinic for Behavioral Medicine in Newport Beach specializes

in diagnosis and treatment for neuropsychiatric, behavioral and learning

problems. Amen has penned 15 books, including 1999 New York Times

bestseller “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life.”

Burch was an OCC art student from 1968 to 1971. He earned a Bachelor

of Fine Arts degree in advertising and graphic design from the Art Center

College of Design in Los Angeles. He has created design projects for such

clients as NASA, Disney Epcot Center, Houghton Mifflin, Viking/Penguin

Books, the University of Southern California, Playhouse International

Pictures and AFS International.

In 1992, he founded the Harold Burch Design company, which specializes

in corporate and publication design. He has earned more than 200 national

and international design awards. Examples of his work are in the

permanent collection of the Library of Congress. His work has also been
