Galveston County Daily News, Oct. 18, 2007 The Transitional Learning Center at Galveston, a pioneer in the field of helping people regain independence after brain injury, will celebrate its 25th anniversary today. Galveston philanthropist Robert L. Moody Sr. founded the facility on Oct. 10, 1982, after his son, Russell, was badly injured in an auto accident. "Robert Moody recognized the critical need for brain injury rehabilitation facilities during Russell's recovery," said Dr. Brent Masel, the center's president and medical director. Masel is a clinical associate professor at UTMB.
