Default Whatever happened to the Viking 104 sailplane?

In 1960 there was a fiberglass sailplane made by Viking Aircraft in
Edmonton, Alberta. It was nice looking with good performance for its
day. Does anyone know what happened to the sailplane and the company?
It must have been one of the earliest glass ships.

thanks.

Mike

The Viking is on display at the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin,
Alberta.
