Looks like there are more problems unfortunally.  See below.

I tried the reindex and then the manual delete of the view from
pg_class.  That took care of the rows in pg_attribute but when I tried
to run pg_dump I now get this:

pg_dump: failed sanity check, parent table OID 16547 of pg_rewrite entry
OID 16550 not found
