The only Apollo operations undertaken at White Sands were the Little Joe abort system tests. Those occurred throughout the 1960s. Von Braun had nothing to do with them; the boilerplate CMs and Little Joe launch vehicles were supplied by North American and the LES by Thiokol, all supervised by other people at NASA.
Von Braun's primary area of responsibility during the 1960s was the Saturn launch vehicle family, which were engineered out of Huntsville and test-flown out of the Florida launch sites. They were not operated at White Sands.
We cannot obviously rule out some brief, ephemeral visit to White Sands at some point during the 1960s. But the notion that von Braun was doing any substantial work then out of White Sands, such that this teacher would have had any significant involvement with him there from 1960-1970, is very soundly contradicted by a fairly indisputable body of evidence. The record of von Braun's tenure at Marshall is hardly obscure.
