I asked my question wrong.

I have a process that goes thru various methods until I reach a point
where I'm updating a record.

I know the record should be there, but I test for it just in case.

If the record is not there, what do you do at this point? You're already
4 levels deep, and theres no reason to cancel, but you want to notify the
user and recover gracefully.

A TRY/CATCH in the 1st method won't solve this scenerio.
